It is important that we get that information. The Minister might forward it to us as soon as possible as it would help to inform our discussions.

The second question I want to ask the Minister is in regard to 2016 where there were 8,063 arrests for suspected drink driving. The regulatory impact analysis on this proposed change was based on the figure of 758 fixed penalty notices. Can the Minister confirm that figure is now 617?
